Workshop Description

This course is designed to address common struggle such as lack of depth, color mixing without getting muddy and controlling bleeding. Students are encouraged to bring their works and discuss with the instructor in the beginning of the week to ensure the individual guidance. Series of demonstrations and exercises are given accordingly.

Suggested supply list is available while students may also bring their own supplies they have been using.

While this workshop is better suited to intermediate to advanced artists, beginners who just started watercolor are also welcome.
